Problems of oceanography, the geology and biology of marinelimestones, the growth-rate of corals, the reactions of tropical sea. The Anton Dohrn. gulls, and the mutations of island mollusks fall within the scope of theDepartment, and within the past eleven years a large part of the workupon the biology of the West Indian region has been carried on underits auspices or with its cooperation. During this period 58 investi-gators have made 129 visits to the laboratory and many discoveriesin biology and in geology have resulted from their studies. Menwho have already achieved distinction through their original workare selected to pursue these studies, for, without at all disparagingthe efforts of other agencies, it is the purpose of this laboratory togive especial aid to productive investigators. In studying the problems of marine biology in the broadest senseit has been necessary to make expeditions to the Bahamas, Jamaica, 29 3° DEPARTMENT OF MARINE BIOLOGY. the West Indies, Tobago, Porto Rico, Newfoundland, and TorresStraits, and these journeys have yielded and will produce manyvaluable results.
